Risk Watch Safe Community program was created with the goal of reaching more kids with the Risk Watch program’s life-saving messages.

To become a Risk Watch Safe Community, a community must be using at least one of NFPA’s Risk Watch programs (Risk Watch: Unintentional Injuries, Risk Watch: Natural Disasters or Ready for Risk Watch.) The community must have a small coalition of people working to implement Risk Watch in a community and one person must be designated as the local contact. Each year, a Risk Watch community-wide event, such as a safety fair, bike rodeo, Risk Watch education day or a child passenger safety seat inspection, must be held.

By making Risk Watch a community initiative, it opens the door to work with many different organizations and reach children through ways other than the classroom. The program also encourages individuals and community groups to participate in keeping kids safe.
